For Thanksgiving, we create our own food-centric playlist to soundtrack your family culinary adventures.

The Thanksgiving holiday occupies that hungry space equidistant between Halloween and Christmas, the other two days reserved for overindulging in caloric excess.

Our entertainment lead producer shares the music she's reflecting on during Thanksgiving break.

Sure, the holidays bring trips back home, time with our families, and thankfulness for the little things. But for the five future bloggers of Hill's Kitchen – The NewsHouse's all-new food blog, debuting in January 2011 – Thanksgiving is mostly an opportunity to cook in a normal-sized, well-stocked, parentally funded kitchen.

If you're not going home for the holidays but crave an affordable home-cooked meal, check out these seven cozy local restaurants.

One day out of the year, we get together with people we love, share a meal and give thanks. But as students, not all of us can go home to our families for Thanksgiving. I set out on a mission: to find local restaurants open on Thanksgiving with great meals under $25. The catch? Each restaurant must have a fireplace, just like home. Home might not always be where your family is, but the hearth may just remind you of where you’re from.
